"Tell me the truth. It's horrible isn't it?" Brooke moaned, as I handed her back the biology essay at lunch on Monday, after skim reading it and coming to the conclusion that it was acceptable enough to present to one of the harshest teachers in the school.

"It's fine" I assured her.

"If you say so" she said as she rolled her eyes and stuffed the essay back into her bag.

"So how was you're weekend?" I asked, changing the subject.

Her face lit up, as she went into a detailed analysis of everything that she had done in the past few days "…and then on Sunday evening Lucas took me to see this horrible gory movie" I laughed when she made a funny face. "I suppose you spent most of you're weekend with Nathan?"

I nodded in answer to her question.

"Joined at the hip" she muttered before taking a sip of water.

"Ha!" I exclaimed as I looked to her flawless face "You can talk! Any time I call Lucas he's always busy with you."

"I'm high maintenance" she winked, just before the man himself came and sat down next to her.

"Hey Luke, you look tired."

He laughed "Thanks Hales. Brooke and I went to see a late night showing of a film last night. It was good, wasn't it?" He asked Brooke as he kissed her on the cheek.

"Yeah…it was…there was a lot of blood" She glanced at me as she said it and I had to suppress from laughing out loud.

A couple of minutes had passed when Lucas stretched out his arms in front of him "Practise is going to be so tedious this afternoon."

"Why's that?" I asked curiously, as I took a bite from my sandwich.

"Half the team are away on a school field trip"

"Then what's the point in going?" I frowned. I felt hopeful that I'd be able to see Nathan this afternoon, if they cancelled practise.

He laughed at my naivety "There's still plenty we can do without the rest of the team Hales."

"Well how was-"

Brooke patted my hand reassuringly "Don't try to understand a boy's mind" she said and rolled her eyes.
